Dryer Dimensions
*Most installations require a minimum 5" (12.7 cm) clearance behind the dryer for the
exhaust vent with elbow. See “Venting Requirements.”
Installation spacing for recessed area or closet installation
The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested
for spacing of 0" (0 cm) clearance on the sides and rear. Recommended spacing should be
considered for the following reasons:
■ Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.
■ Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor moldings.
■ Additional spacing should be considered on all sides of the dryer to reduce noise transfer.
■ For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom
of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are
acceptable.
■ Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

Mobile Home - Additional Installation Requirements
This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations.
The installation must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard,
Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and
Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280).
Mobile home installations require:
■ Metal exhaust system hardware, which is available for purchase from your dealer.
■ Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to introduce outside air into the dryer.
The opening (such as a nearby window) should be at least twice as large as the dryer
exhaust opening.
Electrical Requirements
It is your responsibility
■ To contact a qualified electrical installer.
■ To be sure that the electrical connection is adequate and in conformance with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition and all local codes and
ordinances.
The National Electric Code requires a 4-wire supply connection for homes built after
1996, dryer circuits involved in remodeling after 1996, and all mobile home installations.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection
Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
■ To supply the required 3 or 4 wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only electrical
supply (or 3 or 4 wire, 120/208 volt electrical supply, if specified on the serial/rating plate)
on a separate 30-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended. Connect to an individual branch circuit. Do not have a fuse in
the neutral or grounding circuit.
■ Do not use an extension cord.
■ If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
Electrical Connection
To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will
be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.
■ If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire,
see “Optional 3-wire connection” in the “Electrical Connection” section.
■ This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire electrical supply connection. The
neutral ground wire is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire)
within the dryer. If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical supply connection, the
neutral ground wire must be removed from the external ground conductor screw (green
screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal
block. When the neutral ground wire is secured under the neutral terminal (center or
white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral conductor.
■ A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the appliance is installed in a
location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding
through the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile
homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding
through the neutral conductors.
